Many real estate agents, utility service workers, engineers, and government professionals use a Treo smart phone in their business. Here are some tips to keep it doing what you want it to do and fast. The tips here relate to a Treo700wx, which uses a windows operating system, unlike earlier Treos.
TIP 1
After accessing internet sites on your Treo, click on Menu at the bottom right of your browser screen. Then, click on Tools. Click on Option. Click on Memory, and now, you can delete or clear out your files and history. If you don't do this, the sites build up on your device, and eats into you memory. When you delete files your free up memory so your browser can work faster. It is a good idea to save your favorite sites by clicking the Add to Favorites link.
Tip 2
Now, click on your device's Start button. It will have the windows icon on it. Then, click on Setting and then System at the bottom of the screen. Look for the Memory icon. Next, click on Running Programs. With your Stylus, click on each program not in use and click the Stop button to stop that program from running and competing with the other programs on your device. You should have no more than three running programs at a time.
Tip 3
To remove programs you uploaded to your device, but no longer want the program, go to Start, click on Settings, then system, then, click on the Remove Programs Icon. Tap on the program you do not want, and click the Remove button. This wil free up even more memory.
Tip 4
From time to time, your screen may be acting crazy. It may need an alignment, or balancing. Click on the Windows Start button again. Click on Setting, then System, then click on the Screen Icon. Click on the Align Screen button, and tap on the plus symbol. It will move around as you tap. Keep taping it in each position the plus appears at until the screen refreshes. Then, click the OK button.
Tip 5
Keep your eye on the battery icon on the top of your device's window. I have to recharge mine several times a day. Make sure, and this is very important, make sure that you do not sleep with the Treo being recharged. When that red light turns to green, you know the Treo is recharged. As you sleep the charges stays connected to the Treo, this is potentially damaging the battery, and will put an earlier end to the battery. The minute that red light turns green, I would disconnect the charging cord. Also, it is a good idea to turn the phone off when you are recharging the Treo.
Tip 6
To control battery power, and prolong battery life, go to Settings, then System, then, click on the Power icon. Click on the Advanced button, and now you can adjust when you want the device to turn off when not in use, and when you want external power to go off. Always click the OK button to save your changes.
I hope these tips help. I live with my TREO everyday, and it is practically my roving office. It is the most important tool in my real estate business.
